[22:21]  1 tn Or “oppress.”

[22:21]  2 tn Or “alien,” both here and in 23:9. This individual is a resident foreigner; he lives in the land but, aside from provisions such as this, might easily be without legal rights.

[23:9]  3 tn The verb means “to crush.” S. R. Driver notes that in this context this would probably mean with an unfair judgment in the courts (Exodus, 239).

[23:9]  4 tn Heb “soul, life” – “you know what it feels like.”

[7:6]  5 tn Heb “Stop oppressing foreigner, orphan, and widow.”

[7:6]  6 tn Heb “Stop shedding innocent blood.”

[7:6]  7 tn Heb “going/following after.” See the translator’s note at 2:5 for an explanation of the idiom involved here.

[7:6]  8 tn Heb “going after other gods to your ruin.”

[3:5]  9 tn The first person pronoun (a reference to the Lord) indicates that the Lord himself now speaks (see also v. 1). The prophet speaks in vv. 2-4 (see also 2:17).

[3:5]  10 tn Heb “those who swear [oaths] falsely.” Cf. NIV “perjurers”; TEV “those who give false testimony”; NLT “liars.”

[3:5]  11 tn Heb “and against the oppressors of the worker for a wage, [the] widow and orphan.”

[3:5]  12 tn Heb “those who turn aside.”

[3:5]  13 tn Or “resident foreigner”; NIV “aliens”; NRSV “the alien.”

[2:6]  14 tn This is singular: “the poor person,” perhaps referring to the hypothetical one described in vv. 2-3.
